  • Page 6: Mounting & Cabling

    Mini Merlin Installation, Operation & Maintenance Mounting & Cabling If mounting direct to wall - ensure the wall surface is flat to prevent base distortion! Ensure the rear base is installed in the correct orientation as shown! Where cable glands/conduits are used for wire entry, use 20mm (3/4 inch) max separated by at least 20mm! Any parts that form part of the connections/installation must have a minimum fire retardant rating of UL94V-1! Damage to PCBs when creating cable entry points or attempting to remove the circuit board may void any warranty! The monitor is designed for either surface mounting or mounted on a one or two gang electrical box.
  • Page 7: Circuit Board Overview

    Mini Merlin Installation, Operation & Maintenance Circuit Board Overview Damage to PCBs when creating cable entry points may void any warranty! Take care when making connections to high voltage connectors! Any damage attempting to remove the circuit board may void any warranty! All Class 2 wiring is to be installed within flexible tubing to maintain segregation between circuits! Wiring of different circuits shall be separated by means of routing, clamping or barrier! For field connections other than connected Heat detectors use wires suitable for at least 167°F (75°C)
